Poker Hand Rankings List

Fortunately, there’s a specific hierarchy to poker hand rankings that never varies - no matter the game or where it’s played. Listed from best to worst, the poker hands to watch for include:

Royal Flush- A, K, Q, J, 10 - all of the same suit.*

Straight Flush- Any sequence of five cards that are in the same suit.

Four of a Kind - Any four cards of the same rank. If two players share the poker hand with the same four of a kind, whoever has the highest-ranking fifth card will take the pot.

Full House - Any three cards of the same rank, plus any two cards of the same rank. For instance, poker hands with three aces and two queens are a full house - as are hands with three threes and two jacks. If more than one player has a full house, the player with the highest-ranking cards would win.

Flush - Any five non-consecutive cards of the same suit, the highest card of the five determines the rank of the flush.

Straight - Any five consecutive cards of any suit. In this poker hand, aces can count as either a high card or a low card.

Three of a Kind - Three cards of the same rank, in any combination of suits.

Two Pair - Any two cards of the same rank combined with two additional cards of the same rank.
